An invitation from the Venerable Anne Germond, Incumbent at Church of the Ascension, Sudbury

This past June, we marked the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission with a visit from Brock Pitawanakwat, a professor from Laurentian University's Indigenous Studies programme. It was an informative evening where he explained to us the legacy of the Indian residential school system. Not only is it a very dark part of Canadian history, it is also a tragic part of Anglican history. As Anglicans, we are called and encouraged to build supportive relationships with our Indigenous brothers and sisters.
